UTI/kidney infection symptoms, but urine test came back negative. What's goin on?So I recently had a UTI/Kidney Infection (which is very rare for young males as I'm told) and was put on 5 days of anti-biotics, this stuff called septra. I thought 5 days wasn't enough, but they said that they were pretty sure that after 5 days my infection would clear up. I caught the kidney infection really early on, only having felt very minor side pains at the time. It wasnt bad enough yet to where I had a fever, so i guess i was lucky that i caught it early on.
Well, as I finished my 5 days of antibiotics, I noticed that some of my symptoms were still there. Two days after having finished my anitbiotics I went into my urologists office to get my urine tested just to make sure that my infection had cleared up. He told me that my urine test came back clear. No signs of bacteria, white blood cells, nothing. So I left the office thinking that my infection had cleared up. The problem is, I'm still feeling side pains/lower back pains and abdomen pains. It's been four days since my urologist said the tests were clear, yet the pains are still there. They're really not that bad, the pains come and go throughout the day, staying for like 30 seconds and then theyll go away, but come and go through the day. Most of the time it's kind of like a cramp like pain, and other times its more of a stinging pain, but it's mostly a cramp like pain.
What kind of side/back pains are associated with kidney infections? is it more of a stinging pain or a cramp pain? And should I go back to retest my urine? I know the test came back negative but i still have pains, im not sure what that means. I don't have health insurance either and each visit is 100 bucks, so I'm not sure if i should go or not. And usually for a kidney infection how long does the pain stay? Like i said the pains im feeling usually just go away in 30 seconds but come and go through the day. I'm actually leaving for a trip across the country in a week and I want to make sure that I'm fine before i leave. The urine test said i was clear but why am I still feeling pain?
